The Nigerian Senate has adopted the E-Voting System to vote on the confirmation of new Supreme court judges. In confirming the appointments, the 8th Senate employed the electronic voting system for the first time since its inauguration in June 2015.

Recall that the last time the electronic voting system was employed by the Senate was in 2014 during the 7th Senate under the presidency of Senator David Mark. The upper chamber at the time used the electronic system to vote during the Constitution review of 2014.
